The 50th César ceremony takes place this Friday, February 28 at 8:45 p.m. on Canal+. The competition promises to be tough, we take stock of the favorites before the evening.
The César renders their prize list 2025 this Friday, February 28. The 50th ceremony is broadcast from 8:45 p.m. on Canal++. Several films stand out as big favorites with regard to nominations, and the battle for statuettes is already tight. The Count of Monte-Cristo dominates the race with 14 nominations, but ahead of Love phew (13 appointments) and Emilia Pérez (12 nominations). We imagine Count of Monte-Cristo Win at least many so -called technical prices, such as decorations, costumes or visual effects, when Love phew could potentially impose itself on interpretations (especially in the female revelation category) or realization. Emilia Pérez Also likely to allow Zoe Saldaña to leave with the César for the best female interpretation.
The race for many prices, especially that of the best film, is very tight. Emilia Pérez has been controversial for several weeks. In question: polemical words of its main actress, Karla Sofia Gascon, but also controversies on the LGBT+ and Mexican representation of the film. Souleymane’s story (ultra-favori for the César for the best male revelation) and Mercy (that we imagine leaving with at least one interpretation Caesar) are also regularly appointed 8 recovery each. The first, by its political and social dimension, could win the César for the best film … We summarize everything you need to know about the films in competition and the ceremony below.
